I love being dramatic. This is who I am, a drama queen, who like to magnify all small things happen in life. But then I grow up, then realize that I am not a center of universe anymore. People around me are different, they have priorities, duties, more important to just listen my drama whinning and complaint.
So, I try to change. Of couse, I can erase this drama thingy, it still happens, but only to CLOSEST person in my life. Image is important, when you try to work in a team, make sure you're not acting like spoiled brat. It's cute when you're 17 or something, but c'mon, how old are you now?
I remember in college, everyone is ready to assist me. My problem is also their problem, and everbody seems so nice. People unite to solve one difficult problem, and I am safe. When first I step into business world, the first thought in my mind is friends at office are not as nice as friends at college. They measure things, when people at college freely help us. I felt exhausted at the beginning.
But then, then, then.. I realize something. My friends at office, they do try to act nice, but sometimes they just don't have time. They can't help me because they have more problems than I have.
So, time to grow up, everyone! :D Be strong!

Acted like 17 while..
2. Hanging with my boyfriend. Well, I am the spoiled one in our relationship, but it seems like he does like it in its way, so let it be! :D
3. Watching some cheesy TV series, then talk about it with my friends. Lately, I was addicted with some TV series, like The Vampire Diaries, Glee, and House. Really great distraction for my reading hobbies (sigh). And, suddenly I become a shipper! You know, someone who really loves to pair two characters from the TV series. It's not soooo mature, I am a bit shy to admit it. Well, my favorite one is Finchel from Glee, and Forwood from TVD. Oh, such a kid's job, huh? Well, you have no idea how enthusiastic we talk (me and my friends, who are shippers too), if we had watched recent episodes of whatever then discussed it. Silly, it was like we are not 23 or 24 something (oops), but teenage girls, who screamed against their favorite movie stars. :D

Time after Time
It's funny how you realizes time passes rapidly, you are driven by crazy business, and in the middle of the night, you wonder and wish if a day could be 36 or 48 hours-long. Growing up makes me think more often than usual, work harder than usual, and spend personal time to non-personal things. Doing hobbies, socializing, dating, vacationing should be prepared before, estimated carefully, in order not to mess with other schedules. How I miss those day when I could do something without planning first, had holiday without careful estimation of time or budget. Just went.
But, again, we live in the world full of regularity. Follow the rules. Some would said, the rules are made to be broken, but c'mon, it would be one in a billion case. Even, when you say if someone really love their jobs, or do something they love for living, they would never have to work during their life, it's a big mistakes, I think. In my opinion, whether you are designer, banker, artist, web programmer, dancer, writer or whatever (pick your hobbies and add "-er" behind), someday you'll face regulations. Rules, which are made around you. Say it is deadline, or customer's taste, or whatever. You couldn't act like you want, you couldn't build full idealism around you, and say, "It's my world, it's my job, take me of what I am, or leave me". You should compromise, whether you like it or not.
Some people are able to live their live independently, free to do what they want, but I say once again it's a rare case. Compromising is the best way, you don't have to complain all day along. At the end, remember you are so blessed. Have you imagine what if God gives us 12 hours- a day, instead of 24 hours?
Have a good day, good week, and good year,everyone! :D

Not a Hate Letter
Before reading my post, I emphasize you all, that it is not hate letter. I only have deep concern to this thing.
So, everybody should know UP, a new brand of shoes, created by Diana Rikasari, focused in creating cute and lovely wedges. First I opened its website, and saw their collections, I fell in love. They were lovely, cute, versatile. UP become every girl's favorite in an instant, in a second they receive a lot of order, with the result that I always face "overload capacity" status in the website.
Well, finally, I got a chance to order one of the cute wedges, called Pandora Nude. I made payment on April 1th 2011, confirmed it, and got verified at this day. Then I wait, wait, and wait.
This morning, I opened their website, and tracked my order.
The result is..
Well, dear UP, why's my order status still IN PRODUCTION? If I calculate WORKING DAYS from April 1th ( working days is Moday-Saturday ), it's been 16 days, right?
I feel disappointed. I've already mentioned them in twitter, and emailed them, and I got very humble replies. They said sorry for order's delay, and gave me 20% discounts for next purchase. But the thing is I've planned to wear it on my cousin's wedding at April 23th, and now, I feel like I shouldn't hope that high.
Dear UP, you promise your every customer, that they will get their wedges done in 7-14 days. But I don't see it happens to me. Maybe I am only little customer, who only buy a pair, but don't you think your customers should get similar satisfaction? I am so disappointed. I know you should handle a lot of order in short time, with limited capacity, but please, please,keep your promise to your customers.
I am not trying to pull any tensions, I just share my experience. And I don't encourage people not to buy UP, they have such as beautiful wedges, and (from what I heard, because I haven't received my own UP) very comfy ones. They still can make improvement to make their services better than this.
Thank you.

UPDATE.
Finally it's ON DELIVERY. After several explicit emails and tweets (because they weren't still able to give EXACTLY DATE when my shoes will be delivered), and finally I had to give firm threat that I would ask them my money back (usually I don't do this. As long as I shop in ONLINE SHOP, it was my first time to ask refund of money), finally when I opened their website, I found it's on delivery. Well, 21 working days, counted from my payment confirmed in April 1st. I appreciated their replies, email, humble discount offers, but still feel sorry that they have abandoned their customer like this. Now, let's wait the wedges to see if it's worth to be waited for this long.

Smoking or No Smoking?
Seseorang pernah berkata,"Motivasi datang dari sendiri. Sekeras apapun "orang lain" memotivasi anda, apabila Anda tidak tergerak hatinya untuk berubah, maka motivasi itu akan sia-sia".
Saya hidup diantara orang-orang perokok. Keluarga saya mayoritas perokok. Teman-teman terdekat saya perokok. Waktu SMA dan kuliah, sering kali saya bertanya,"Kenapa merokok?", "Apa enaknya merokok?", "Gak sayang kesehatan?", "Gak sayang duit?" and bla... bla... bla...
Dan respon yang saya dapatkan juga bermacam-macam.
"Merokok bisa membantu gue berpikir dengan jernih.."
"Kalo gak ngerokok, gue gak bisa kerja."
"Banyak kok orang yang gak ngerokok, tapi tetep gak bisa nabung beli mobil sendiri kayak gw."
"Coba lihat, mana ada orang meninggal pas lagi ngerokok."
"Banyak kok orang sakit bukan karena rokok."
Bla...
Bla....
Bla....
The thing is I really don't give a damn whether you are smoker or no. I love you just the way you are (hehehe..), as long as you don't smoke in front of me, or among people who don't smoke. It's your own choice to keep smoking, but please, please, please, don't let other people also suffer its consequences.
Thank you.
*postingan yang dibuat karena ada bapak yang merokok di angkot seenak jidatnya, padahal jelas-jelas di pintu angkot ditempel stiker "Dilarang Merokok di Tempat Publik". What a moron*

Hurtful
It always hurts when you don't get what you've expected. When you are a bunch of hopes, and suddenly.. bam! You are struck by reality, and reality's bitter.
And you're ended by complaining, being sad, stressful. You are falling apart from sky which has been created by your own imagination, to the deepest disappointment.
You've heard for a lot of times that you can always get what you want. You recognize it very well, but it turns that you have no idea to apply it. We, human, can be so pathetic one time, and be very wise another time. when we grow older and older, we'll feel mixed complicated feelings. Denial. Letting go. Sacrifice. Selfish.
By writing this, I realize that myself is one of most selfish annoying creature in this world. I keep grumbling, criticizing, differing right and wrong to other persons, while I rarely do it. keep thinking that I am one of pitiable person, that other person always get better than me, even when I've tried harder than them. God, I really have no idea how I could be such a hypocrite.
But will do better day by day. At least I'll try. Because, even I see myself as bad person, there will be people who love me unconditionally. Being around me, give their love and prayer, receiving me as who I am.
And you? How about you? Have you ever felt so hurt? So, let's wake up, and try something. Change! I wish we all can be better person. :)
PS. It's been rough week. Farewell, new place, adapting, and something under my expectations. For everyone who also have it, let's struggle together facing this life. You're not alone!
